Guidelines for Completing Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Record Form
What Counts for CPD hours?
CPD Categories and Annual Requirement
There are 3 categories of CPD requirement, namely:
Category A: Education and Training (min. 5 hours)
Category B: Professional Activities (min. 5 hours)
Category C: Personal Development (min. 5 hours and max. 12 hours)
The minimum annual CPD requirement for each member is 25 hours, except full time students and retired members who are exempted.
Members must carry out a minimum of 5 hours of CPD for each category. For category C, however, an upper limit of 12 hours only is accountable to meet the 25-hour requirement.
Relevant CPD
What may or may not be included as relevant CPD for each of these categories is listed below. The list is not exhaustive and the CPD Committee may consider other items suggested by members. As a general rule for all categories, day-to-day work and job-related activity should not be counted as CPD.
Category A: Education and Training
These items must be Civil Care and Security related.
Category B: Professional Activities
These activities may be less formal than Category A but imply an active participation by members. They must also be planning related.
Category C: Personal Development
This may be planning related but may also include wider skills that will enhance your competence as a professional.
Reading the daily paper or other journals should not be included as CPD unless it is part of self-guided research on certain planning issues.
Please bear in mind that if the CPD Committee requests you to submit your CPD record for assessment, you may need to provide evidence of the CPD activities that you have undertaken.
